Fruitcamp - a Day on the Fruit Farm
Fruitcamp is an all-day event organised by School of Food at a wonderful family-run fruit farm just outside London in Kent that will happen on Saturday 9th July. Concentrating mostly on cherries, the day is all about getting in touch with the fantastic fresh produce that is available on London's doorstep and about learning about how to use it in the kitchen.
